A Detroit Lions blog by Lions fans, for Lions fans.
The Detroit Lions eked out a win against the New York Giants on Sunday, but their playoff position didn’t change at all in Week 12. They remain in the NFC’s eight seed—one spot out of the playoffs—despite being 7-4 on the season. Detroit got zero help from the other Week 12 outcomes, with the Bears, […]
Week 12 comes to a close with a “Monday Night Football” matchup featuring the Carolina Panthers (6-5) and San Francisco 49ers (7-4). While the Detroit Lions don’t have either of these teams on their 2025 schedule, both teams are in the NFC Playoff hunt—the Panthers are tied for the lead in the NFC South, while […]
The Detroit Lions came out with a win in a close overtime matchup against the New York Giants. The Giants, who have an interim head coach and a backup quarterback, put up much more of a fight than most expected. This is a case where the box score and the film tell two very different […]

The Detroit Lions (7-4) pulled out a win over the New York Giants (2-10) in overtime in Week 12, overcoming several self-inflicted mistakes and holding off a scappy team that put it all on the line. The Lions slightly altered their approach on both sides of the ball this week and may have given some […]
The Detroit Lions’ win was anything but satisfying, but it did end with undeniable relief. Detroit returned to its gritty wheelhouse and outlasted the New York Giants in a game where they trailed for 57 minutes and 28 seconds — the most they’ve trailed in a game in the Dan Campbell era (83 games, including […]
The Detroit Lions’ performance against the New York Giants was as frustrating as it was awe-inspiring. For much of the game, the Lions defense struggled and the offense sputtered. But when it came to the most important points in the game, individual players stepped up and delivered a much-needed win to Detroit. Here are the […]
Detroit Lions star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson delivered the game-winning play against the New York Giants, but the player he went up against for most of the game believes he didn’t do anything for most of the game. Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor called out Hutchinson after New York lost 34-27 in overtime to Detroit, […]

The Detroit Lions need wins in any capacity down the stretch, but we would appreciate some less dramatic ones going forward.

And there’s a small […]
The Detroit Lions eked out a win, although they still remain outside of the NFC playoff picture thanks to wins from the Packers and Bears on Sunday. But the NFC playoffs are far from settled and Sunday will close out with a big game that could have big implications for the race. The 8-2 Los […]
Before Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs blasted through the New York Giants’ defensive line for a 69-yard, go-ahead touchdown on the first play of overtime, Amon-Ra St. Brown had a feeling. Gibbs had been nearly unstoppable on the day, rushing for 150 yards on just 14 carries, and St. Brown pleaded with Lions coaches […]
Barely a win is still a win. The Detroit Lions needed overtime to overcome the New York Giants, but one play was all it took to secure the lead and the eventual win. The Lions trailed for most of the day in a game many viewed as a cakewalk, but the Jameis Winston-led Giants put […]
A “get-right” game, a “bounce-back” performance, whatever you want to call it, the Detroit Lions needed it on Sunday afternoon. How the game was played, however, was far from that for the Lions. From the start of the game, the Lions were struggling heavily. Trick plays fooled them throughout as the New York Giants’ offense […]

For much of Sunday, it was an absolutely dreadful performance from the Detroit Lions. The offense felt disjointed, and the defense couldn’t get off the field on key downs. But thanks to a huge game from Jahmyr Gibbs and a couple of key plays late in the game, the Lions overcame a 10-point deficit in […]
The Detroit Lions will try to get back on the winning side on Sunday after dropping three of their last four games. Detroit is currently on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, but they could climb as high as the three seed this week, should all of the Week 12 games fall the […]

The Detroit Lions enter Week 12 in unfamiliar territory: out of an NFC playoff spot. With seven weeks of the league still remaining, there is plenty of time left for Detroit to climb their way back into the postseason. In fact, they still remain in control of their own destiny.

Here we are once again. The Detroit Lions are coming off a disappointing loss, and now they need to take out their frustrations on another team.
